Walsall to Wolverhampton Line

The Walsall to Wolverhampton Line is a railway line in the West Midlands, England. It connects the town of Walsall to the city of Wolverhampton. The line does not currently have any scheduled passenger services, although it has had in the past. At present, the main use of the line is by freight trains avoiding Birmingham New Street. It is also used as a diversionary route when engineering works are carried out on the West Coast Main Line.
==History ==
Most of the present route was opened in 1837 as part of the original Grand Junction Railway, one of the first railway trunk routes, it later came under the control of the London and North Western Railway, then the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and later British Rail in 1948.
The line's strategic use as a freight and diversionary route led to it being electrified with overhead wires in the 1960s, as an offshoot of the West Coast Main Line electrification, along with the connecting Walsall Line. However the local passenger service was withdrawn in 1965 as part of the Beeching Axe, and the line's intermediate stations at Darlaston, Willenhall and Portobello were closed.
